What you need to know before your trail
What if we decided to try and find him?’
‘What on earth are you on about?’ she said. ‘How are we going to catch the Yorkshire Ripper, when the police haven’t even managed to?’
I sighed. Her questioning my ideas was a recent and unwelcome element to our friendship. But it was a valid point. How would we catch him? We needed some sort of plan, a way of gathering clues and putting them into order.
I thought about what the policeman had said about structure, and then about Aunty Jean and her notebook, and the idea I had hardened like toffee. I knew exactly what we needed to do.
Travel Guide
Yorkshire trail
A coming of age story with moments of darkness and inward thinking. A great way to discover some fine places in Yorkshire thought! Of course, there’s a few of the Yorkshire Ripper crime scenes too but the novel is actually an ode to Yorkshire and all its fine places, food and culture.
It’s set in the 1970s/1980s so there’s a lot of walks down memory lane or historical journeys depending on your age.
